The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award

The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award is awarded periodically at the Academy Awards ceremonies to "Creative producers, whose bodies of work reflect a consistently high quality of motion picture production." The award is named for Irving Thalberg, legendary head of the Production Division of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, who developed the company\'s reputation for sophisticated films. The trophy for award recipients is in the form of a bust of Thalberg rather than the familiar "Oscar" statuette.

For this award, the year shown is the year when the award was actually presented. Recipients of the Thalberg Award include:

• 1938 - Darryl F. Zanuck
• 1939 - Hal B. Wallis
